My journey to becoming vegan has been a long and winding one. Along the way I read some books, watched some movies, collected numerous recipes from cooking blogs and listened to podcasts in the car and while out running. I’ve started this list of vegan resources that have helped me learn more about a healthy plant-based lifestyle in hopes they can be of service to anyone else who is searching for information about going vegan.
